Attic Trusses - Huge Advantages

Hi, I'm Tim Carter, AskTheFilter.com and I am up in the attic of my daughter's new home and this

giant room was created with prefabricated roof attic trusses. They have so many advantages and

I'm pretty sure you're going to consider using them in your next home or big remodeling job

after watching this video. Roof trusses made in a climate-controlled factory are

held together by special metal plates. They were invented in the 1950s and

revolutionized the way roofs are framed. Today's modern computer software allows for just about any size and shape to be built using roof trusses. If you can

dream it, the truss plant designer can likely make it a reality. Truss designs

using special trusses even allow you to create a typical staircase leading up to

the attic space. You might think that could only be done with one of the

flimsy pull-down staircases that go in between two normal trusses. Roof trusses

that span from one exterior wall to another eliminate the need for bearing

walls. This gives lots of flexibility for a future change to the floor plan. You can

design a truss so it allows more insulation in the attic where the roof passes over the exterior

wall. This will save you lots of money and can help prevent those wretched ice dams. This house

is using attic trusses that create huge rooms inside the triangle shape of the truss. Attic

trusses can be made at any of today truss manufacturing facilities You just need to ask for them Cutting technology helps create a truss design that next to impossible for carpenters to create in the field using the same

size lumber. Roof trusses are also very easy to install, requiring fewer skilled workers. As a

result, the trusses go up really fast. The trusses on my daughter's home were installed in just one

day. Houses built with trusses can get under roof faster so your new home stays dry. You'll save

money by getting the house finished faster too. Another benefit of manufactured roof trusses is
